PHYSICAL WEATHERING
•Mechanical weathering the
breakdown of rocks without a change in its
composition.

• Breakdown would mean that the rock is fractured, cracked or fragmented

into smaller pieces.
PHYSICAL WEATHERING

7
CHEMICAL WEATHERING
•Decomposition of rocks due to chemical
reactions occurring between the
minerals in rocks and the environment.
• Transforms rocks and minerals exposed to water and gases in the
atmosphere into new chemical compounds thus, forming different
rocks and minerals.

Processes that can cause
Physical Weathering
1. THERMAL AND PRESSURE CHANGE
* Rocks crumble and break into fragments because they are
subjected to alternating hot and cold temperatures many
times.

* When a rock gets hot, it expands an increase in volume, while

at nigh, the rock gets cold causing contraction (a decrease
in volume.

 This land form is also made of limestone. It
was created by large amount of calcium being
